The description of the above photo is incorrect! "This is the rolling farmland of southeastern Washington state. The swirling patterns are created by plows."
1.) The photo is way too far away for patterns created by plows to be visible.
2.) This is an arial view of rolling hills. What you see is the contours of the land, hills and valleys.
3.) Go to a mapping site (google maps, bing, etc,) and you can see a contour map of SE Washington. It looks like this (it would take a while to find this exact spot) but you can plainly see that this photo is of the contours of the land - NOT the result of farmers plowing. View this both as satallite and terrain (<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Washington+state&hl=en&ll=46.959109,-117.64658&spn=0.052606,0.114927&sll=38.877136,-77.012787&sspn=0.480025,0.919418&hnear=Washington&t=p&z=14" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Washington+state&hl=en&ll=46.959109,-117.64658&spn=0.052606,0.114927&sll=38.877136,-77.012787&sspn=0.480025,0.919418&hnear=Washington&t=p&z=14</a>)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/527106c76bb3f73f6956d90bian, RussWed, 30 Oct 2013 09:16:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/527106c76bb3f73f6956d90b
Beautiful pictures, however they all have been enhanced thus not portraying the real colors.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/527104936bb3f7a86256d90dbucketheadWed, 30 Oct 2013 09:07:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/527104936bb3f7a86256d90d
It would be awesome to see these images zoomed in gradually.
